Today, April 1, 2018, has a few reasons to be happy!
- Today is Easter, Sunday!
- Today is Passover!
- Today is April Fools Day!
- Today start the April 2018 Ultimate Blog Challenge!
Let me tell you about the challenge – The Ultimate Blog Challenge is a challenge for you. You are to write 30 blog posts in 30 days. You do not have to write one a day (but I found it helps!) – you are just ‘agreeing’ to write and post 31 posts during the month of April.
You are held accountable to yourself and to the Challenge Community.
The challenge takes place every January, April, July, and October!
By the way – there is nothing special about joining! If you have a blog, you can participate! All you have to do is sign up at The Ultimate Blog Challenge and start writing!
I can’t recall how many challenges I have participated in – maybe this is my 15th or 16th Challenge!
Whoops! I almost forgot to mention… it is FREE! It will cost nothing!
Why am I doing it? Well, there are lots of good reasons including:
- Increased visibility – More blog posts means more opportunity for people to see it!
- Increased Google Love – More blog posts written on a consistent basis causes Google to sprinkle its love all over my site! This will result in better rankings!
- Decreased Alexa Score (the lower the score, the better!)
- Build relationships and become part of a Community – I have met folks online and ended up working with them because of it! This is a great way to expand your reach.
I hope to see you there!
I’m happy today…but ask me again on April 30th, lol. To date, I’ve never been able to complete 30 posts in 30 days, so I may need a short break after its all said and done! But, thank you for this opportunity!
LOL – Hang in there, Theresa! You can do it! Try to write in advance if you have the opportunity.
I am in for the month of April! Thank you for the opportunity and hopefully I can make it through. 😀
Glad you will be joining us, Chien!
I will definitely be participating!! And thank you so much for hosting & encouraging us each time. And I look forward to your helpful blogging posts this month!
Glad to have you back, Jeanine!
Happy Easter! Thanks for hosting yet another challenge. I’m looking forward to an exciting blogging month ahead. 🙂
Same to you, Ruth!
I’ve been waiting for the April challenge to start since the January one ended! I actually had plans to write a list of topics and go off that but that didn’t happen. I’m just going to wing it like I have the past 2 years!!
Welcome Back, Martha! You will do great (again!)
Very excited to be taking on the challenge (again!). Looking forward to developing new relationships with other bloggers, finding new blogs to regularly follow, and stepping outside my comfort zone with sharing! We started April 1st here in TN with 70-degree temps – LOVED it!
That is awesome, Shelly! Here in NJ we are expecting snow tomorrow! UGH!
Best of luck with the Challenge!
Wow! There are so many reasons to be happy this month. Thank you Paul. Looking forward to learn.
Glad you are joining us on the UBC, Snehal!
Thanks for doing this challenge Paul! This is my 7th or 8th challenge. I have completed more than half of them. Challenges Rock!
I have another reason to celebrate, I quit smoking 12 years ago today. 🙂
That is great Cindy J! Glad to hear it! I am such an anti-smoker! Hats off to you and congrats!
There are so many great reasons to participate in the blog challenge. Happy also that it is Easter. Even though it isn’t celebrate in my current part of the world.
Glad to have you back, Stacey!
Happy Easter! Thanks for hosting this challenge. This is my first challenge and today is my first day posting a post. Better late than never! I’m super excited where this challenge will bring me and my blog to.
Glad to have you hear, Monica! Let me know if you have any questions about the Ultimate Blog Challenge!
